Simplistic 'Green' Solutions To 'Wicked' Unsustainability
A Talk by Ken Alston (Founding Partner, Circularity Edge, LLC)
About this Talk
For over 30 years we've been applying simplistic thinking and implementing simplistic solutions to the wickedly difficult issues of a global economic model that's still unsustainable.
We've pigeon-holed the topic into a niche that can be all too easily side-lined by politics and business by calling it "green". It's past time for a new design that deals with complexity with a "whole spectrum" approach.
We're living in a material world (with apologies to Madonna) and we need sustainably circular business models to safely cycle materials. We also need social solutions that can be implemented locally.
